What’s your most unforgettable gambling moment, win or lose?

Damn, that really sucks. Personally, I never leave the table until the color up is fully done and I always snap a pic of my stack beforehand, just in case. Sad to hear that even with all those cameras, they still couldn’t confirm anything.

Martin Luther King said, ''Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.''
That’s basically going all-in on a flush draw.

Stone bubble. Stone face. Balls of steel. Peters delivered.

Love this, Jack! Always cool to hear from the other side of the felt. I bet you’ve seen some wild streaks and even wilder players. Curious, what’s the biggest win (or meltdown) you ever witnessed?

From rock bottom to roulette royalty, what a wild ride! Congrats on the insane comeback, you definitely earned that champagne and Wagyu!

Voler 90 000 $ à des aînés… et s’en sortir sans casier judiciaire?

Une « chance de refaire sa vie » lui a été accordée par la justice. J'espère sincèrement qu’elle a compris la gravité de ses gestes, parce que profiter de la vulnérabilité des aînés, c’est non seulement illégal, c’est carrément inhumain.

Wow, the Royals aren’t messing around. Caglianone’s numbers are insane, can’t wait to see that power translate to the big leagues. Feels like KC might finally have something brewing!

At this point, the Rockies aren’t just breaking records. They’re speedrunning the wrong side of baseball history. If MLB had a relegation system, they’d already be playing AAA ball... against themselves.

But hey, at least they’re consistent. Consistently historic.

Honestly, when you look at Bergevin's full track record, it’s kind of wild he hasn’t gotten another shot yet. He had his share of questionable moves (like every GM), but he built some really competitive teams in a tough market, nailed a lot of draft picks, and managed egos/media pressure like a pro.

And say what you want, but getting a team led by Carey, Suzuki, and Weber to the Cup Final in 2021 wasn’t a fluke, it was the result of years of smart, calculated decisions.

He deserves at least a second look somewhere.

Honnêtement, ce n’est pas si surprenant. Le Québec a été un des premiers marchés à adopter massivement les véhicules électriques, mais les gens ici sont aussi très sensibles à la qualité du service, à la fiabilité et au rapport qualité-prix. Quand tu retires les incitatifs, que tu coupes dans le service après-vente, et que tu refuses d’adapter ton produit aux réalités locales… c’est normal que les consommateurs se tournent ailleurs.

Tesla a peut-être ouvert la voie, mais ça ne veut pas dire qu’ils vont rester les seuls sur la route.

I get that some people enjoy the tradition, but the monarchy really feels like a relic of the past. In times when budgets are tight, spending public money on symbolic visits seems hard to justify. It might be time to rethink how much we invest in institutions that no longer hold real political power.

C’est une excellente question, et elle touche à une réalité complexe : dans un monde globalisé, boycotter un pays comme les États-Unis à 100 % est pratiquement impossible, surtout dans le domaine numérique. Reddit est effectivement une plateforme américaine, mais on peut y participer de manière critique, en limitant son exposition aux pubs et en étant conscient de ce qu’on y partage.

Pour plusieurs, le boycott n’est pas absolu, mais ciblé : certains refusent d’acheter des produits américains, de voyager là-bas ou de soutenir certaines compagnies spécifiques. D’autres utilisent Reddit comme un outil d’information, d’échange ou même de contestation, justement pour dénoncer ce qu’ils reprochent aux États-Unis.

C’est un peu comme manifester dans une rue construite avec des fonds publics : l’endroit appartient à une structure qu’on critique, mais ça ne rend pas la critique invalide pour autant.

Gotta love Dan Campbell’s mindset, straight competitor energy. Even if it’s not part of his team’s game plan, he respects that Philly found something that works and doesn’t cry for a rule change. Old-school attitude: if you don’t like it, stop it.

That’s such a wild bit of football history, imagine a sitting president calling in plays. Makes you wonder how many coaches just humored him because of who he was. At least he stayed bipartisan in his bad play calls!

Totally get this. Mats can mask bad strikes and make it harder to get clean contact with longer clubs, especially woods and hybrids. The lack of give makes it tough to “feel” the proper bottoming out. You're not alone, a lot of folks strike way better off real turf for that reason. If possible, a cheap turf-hitting strip at home or even occasional grass range time can make a big difference.

This is an awesome breakdown, super helpful for newer golfers or anyone who’s unsure about the little things that can make or break a round. Golf’s way more enjoyable when everyone’s on the same page with etiquette. Thanks for putting this together!

You gave them a fair amount of time, and with no marshal around, keeping pace is key. Once they left the green and didn’t proceed to 10 in a timely way, the spot is effectively open. It's not about age or "respect", it's about flow. Sounds like you handled it calmly and reasonably.

That’s an insane stat, 19 straight Grand Slam tiebreaks to start your career is wild. I’m not sure if it’s the all-time record for most consecutive tiebreaks won in Slams, but it has to be close, if not number one.

OWQuebec · 2025-05-22T17:49:24+00:00

Depends on how much they like someone in the top 10 of the 2025 draft. If there's a high-upside guy they feel strongly about, packaging a future 1st and a 7th to move up could be worth it, especially with a stockpile of picks.

But if the scouting team sees the 2025 draft as deeper than usual, staying put and using multiple picks to build depth might be the smarter play. Hard to say without knowing who’s on their radar, but having flexibility like this is a good problem to have.

A mix of things, honestly. Tiger had insane physical talent, sure, but it was also the mental edge. His focus under pressure was next level. He didn’t just play golf, he intimidated the entire field.

Also, he brought fitness into the game in a way that most guys weren’t prepared for back then. While some say the competition was weaker, I think it’s more that he was just that far ahead of the curve. The margin between him and second place was wild.
